About Grupo Igneo

Grupo Igneo is a Spanish industrial group specializing in engineering, construction, and maintenance services for the energy sector, particularly electrical substations, power lines, renewable energy (photovoltaic and biomass), and smart metering. The group operates across the full value chain — from project design and legalization to construction, commissioning, and ongoing operation & maintenance — and is a key contractor for utilities such as Endesa and e-Distribución in Spain.

In Spain, Grupo Igneo is headquartered in A Coruña (Galicia) and has a strong territorial footprint with offices in Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia, Pamplona, Logroño, Ourense, Ferrol, and Zaragoza, among others. The company recruits technical profiles (electrical, mechanical, civil engineers, project managers, environmental inspectors) and is actively internationalizing its renewable-energy project portfolio, which makes it a relevant employer for international professionals with experience in energy infrastructure, grid operations, and environmental compliance.

Good to know if you are moving

  • Spanish is the working language across most roles; international candidates without fluent Spanish will find limited positions (mainly engineering and technical roles).
  • The company is a key contractor for Spain's main utility groups (Endesa, e-Distribución), which can be an advantage for professionals with prior experience in regulated energy infrastructure.
  • Offices are spread across northern Spain (Galicia, Basque Country, Navarra, La Rioja) rather than concentrated in Madrid or Barcelona, so be prepared to relocate to smaller cities.
  • The group is actively internationalizing its renewable energy division (biomethane, PV, BESS), so profiles with international project experience are valued.
  • The company offers technical roles (electrical, mechanical, civil) that are not commonly open to non-EU profiles, so EU work authorization is practically a requirement.
